Maniacal Me Song Lyrics

Maniacal Me by Crown The Empire

[Verse 1] When color starts to fade
Everything you see is tainted grey.
As hope drains from your veins,
Fear will slowly takes its place.
Feel the charge rush down your spine,
Every hair stands on end, in shock of your own mind.
Lost in the sound of the pounding hearts,
The wires have shorted, the circuits gone dark.
All it takes is a spark.
[Chorus:] The masquerade (masquerade),
Is lit ablaze,
Surrounding me as fear consumes my soul.
There’s a maniac within,
Taking hold of me again.
No place left for me to hide,
Behind the eyes of a maniac.
I’m a f**king maniac!
[Verse 2] Scarlet drapes my eyes
The phantom calls from deep inside.
Revealing my disguise,
The freak beneath has come alive.
Suffering is all I’m wanting,
You’ve been chosen for my haunting.
[Chorus:] The masquerade (masquerade),
Is lit ablaze
Surrounding me as fear consumes my soul.
There’s a maniac within,
Taking hold of me again.
No place left for me to hide,
Behind the eyes of a maniac.
I’m a maniac.
I’m a maniac! A maniac! A maniac!
[Hook] I am the bane of your existence,
Feeble are all your attempts at resistance.
Stealing your sanity, watching you rot.
Just lying in wait, ready or not.
[Outro] Here I come!
You stare in the mirror and the evil you see
Is the menace within you that you have set free.
Unleashing the beast brings the freedom you seek,
But there’s no escaping my maniacal me!
